Joe Gauchi to be number 1 for the Asian cup is exciting tbf. I would’ve been shocked if glover was picked, he is about the 7th or 8th best keeper at this stage. a bit surprised at Silvera, yasbek, jones and Thomas in the squad, but it’s an odd time for the socceroos. I just saw iredale as well. There’s a feeling of throwing *** at the wall and seeing what sticks. a few injured players have been picked as well.

The word here in Australia is we have been told if we got behind the Saudi bid we would get the Asian cup. Apparently fifa told us it would go to Saudi and bidding was futile.

He doesn’t have a great reputation. I certainly didn’t want us to sign him and was happy to see him leave the a league. Certainly can’t play out from the back.

I watched him a few times last season and I was impressed. I certainly didn’t think he was a youth teamer. Very composed.

I’m happy if we sign glover, but don’t let him play. I was so excited to see him leave the a league and not have to hear about his potential every week. 😕

He wants an overseas move. Big keeper, not one I particularly rate. Makes lots of stupid mistakes. Last I heard he was talking to a danish club, but that was weeks ago. Would also be free as he is out of contract

1.1 mill aus dollar apparently. Around 500k pounds as expected. No idea about anything else. I was told in a way that made me feel like I should’ve already known

Ok, so I messaged about silvera and was told it’s already hit the news that he has signed for us. Isn’t it lovely being on a plane for 24 hours

This is entirely possible. He has already had 1 dodgy overseas move, he won’t want two. I’d be surprised if he went anywhere to sit on the bench and pick up a pay check

Last I heard was Saturday and no bids had been accepted. I’ll ask when I touch down in the uk tomorrow for updates.

We will have to up the offer if it’s to happen. At least 5 clubs have made enquires/offers as of yesterday. edit - silvera, dunno bout dieng

Nope, hearing. I said it a few days back

I’m hearing around 500k pounds is what they are holding out for. I should edit to say that the person I’ve spoken to only knows of a hearts bid

Baccus is fine. He pulled out of the Bolton deal himself as he has an offer from a champo club

That is the a league advertising channel. They would say that! He isn’t a bad option, but It surprises me. I usually hear a fair bit about a league transfers and literally yesterday I was told hearts had a bid rejected. If we have come in, it’s happened overnight (or I have just missed stuff being on holiday)

That’s thrown me. Patchy form player, but has ability. Apparently ccm rejected 500k Aussie dollars bid from hearts. I’d probably file this under an agent pushing for a higher bid. I’d say around 500k pounds and he will go.

Not izzo. Best keeper in the league by far is Gauchi and I wouldn’t even say he is ready for champo football. baccus went to Bolton. Tillio off to Celtic. All a bit interesting. Hearing rumours D’arrigo is looking at a euro move as well

Tbf it’s only bos’ second cap…. baccus has been great tbf. If he would cost 500k like the previous rumours suggest, it would be a decent gamble.

Silvera is very hit and miss. Kaltak having another cracking game tbf.

Bridges is connected with Leeds as an ambassador/scout

Nah. Atkinson and Miller I think are struggling and will need time. Devlin I could see settling in as well

Strain, baccus, rowles?

Asia as a whole is not a bad spot to look. Japan would be expensive, but places like Korea etc have a great youth system that is quite untapped.

That’s what I’m arguing though. The option is either scout the globe and get some decent talent before others, or wait till someone else does then pay a large amount more. Clubs can’t buy 3 or 4 5 million pound players anymore. Scouts need to be proactive.

And we were linked with baccus from st mirren in the last window, a free transfer from the a league.
